The WalthamstowWassails are happening this weekend.
Sat 11th Jan - FamilyWassail 1.30pm, Vestry House Museum. This year we'll be makingwassail bowls and then taking them to a local house to be filled with wassail drink (apple juice!) on the way down to Wingfield Park, blessing apple trees along the way. We'll be revising a couple of old wassail songs, and learning a new one - the Sugar Wassail.
Sun 12th Jan - "grown up" Wassail 2pm, upstairs at the Nags Head. We'll meet to learn the songs in parts as usual, and perform there at 4.30pm. Then the plan is to visit a couple of homes - including the hives at BEE17 - on the way up to Chestnuts Farm allotments by the Town Hall. They've offered to host us in their community room and we'll wassail the trees and beehives in their orchard. We'll round off the evening as usual by performing at the Folk Club at the Rose & Crown.
There will be a workshop on the Sunday morning at Vestry House Museum, 10:30-12:30, for people who would prefer to learn the part songs by ear, rather than with sheet music.
